Chavez: U.S. Detained Foreign Minister
President Hugo Chavez said his foreign minister was detained by U.S. authorities at a New York airport Saturday for more than hour as he tried to return to the South American country.
Chavez told Venezuela’s state TV broadcaster that U.S. officials alleged that Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro had links to a failed coup that Chavez led in Venezuela in 1992.
“They have held him accusing him of participating in terrorist acts here,” Chavez said in Venezuela. “He didn’t even participate in that patriotic rebellion.”
Think I’m joking? Remember James Moore, the author of Bush’s Brain. Funny how he writes Bush’s Brain then ends up on the no-fly list.
